First Law of Thermodynamics
• Energy can be neither created nor
destroyed.Therefore, the total energy of the universe is a constant.
• Energy can, however, be converted
from one form to another or transferred from a system to the surroundings or vice versa.
Spontaneous Processes
• Spontaneous processes are those that can
proceed without any outside intervention.
• The gas in vessel B will
spontaneously effuse into
vessel A, but once the
gas is in both vessels, it

Processes that are spontaneous in one direction are
non-spontaneous in the reverse direction. The external

Spontaneous Processes
• Processes that are spontaneous at one
temperature may be nonspontaneous at other temperatures.
• Above 0 C it is spontaneous for ice to melt.
Chemical
Big Idea #5
• The laws of thermodynamics describe the essential role of energy and explain and predict the direction of changes in matter.
Reversible Processes
Increasing the
temperature by an
infinitely small amount causes heat to flow out of the system.
The process can be
reversed by lowering the temp. of the
system.

Irreversible Processes
• Remove partition: gas expands to fill cylinder.
• In order to compress the gas, work has to be done on the system. • Irreversible processes can technically be undone by reversing the
change to the system, but the surroundings will have changed.
Entropy
• Entropy (S) is a term coined by Rudolph Clausius in the 19th century.
• Clausius was convinced of the significance of the ratio of heat
delivered and the temperature at which it is delivered, .q

Entropy
• Entropy can be thought of as a measure of the randomness of a system.
Entropy
• Like total energy, E, and enthalpy, H, entropy is a state function.

Entropy
For a process occurring at constant temperature (an isothermal process), the change in entropy is equal to the heat that would be transferred if the
process were reversible divided by the temperature: • Remember: a reversible process is one that is
technically impossible. S is a state function. We are interested in the S, so we pretend
S = qrev
Second Law of Thermodynamics
The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of the universe increases for spontaneous processes. The entropy of the universe does not change for reversible

Second Law of Thermodynamics
In other words:
For reversible processes:
Suniv = Ssystem + Ssurroundings = 0
For irreversible processes:
Second Law of Thermodynamics
• An irreversible process increases the entropy of the universe.
– However, because entropy is a state function, the change in entropy of a system is the same
whether the process is reversible or irreversible.
• The second law of thermodynamics can be used to determine whether a process is
reversible or not.

The element mercury, Hg, is a silvery liquid at room temperature. The normal freezing point of mercury is –38.9 °C, and its molar enthalpy of fusion is ΔHfusion = 2.29 kJ/mol. What is the entropy change of the system
when 50.0 g of Hg(l) freezes at the normal freezing point?.
Solution
Check: The entropy change is negative because heat flows from the system, making qrev negative.

Calculate ΔSº for the synthesis of ammonia from N2(g) and H2(g) at 298 K: N2(g) + 3 H2(g) → 2 NH3(g)
Using the standard entropies in Appendix C, calculate the standard entropy change, ΔS°, for the following reaction at 298 K:
Al2O3(s) + 3 H2(g) → 2 Al(s) + 3 H2O(g)
Answers: 180.39 J/K
Practice Exercise Solution
Analyze: We are asked to calculate the entropy change for the synthesis of NH3(g) from its constituent elements.
Plan: We can make this calculation using Equation 19.8 and the standard molar entropy values for the reactants and the products that are given in Table 19.2 and in Appendix C.
Solve: Using Equation 19.8, we have
Substituting the appropriate S° values from Table 19.2 yields
ΔS° = 2S°(NH3) - [S°(N2) + 3S°(H2)]
ΔS° = (2 mol)(192.5 J/mol-K) - [(1 mol)(191.5 J/mol-K) + (3 mol)(130.6 J/mol-K)] = -198.3 J/K

Sample Exercise 19.6 Calculating Free-Energy Change from ΔH°, T, ΔS°
Calculate the standard free energy change for the formation of NO(g) from N2(g) and O2(g) at 298 K: N2(g) + O2(g) → 2 NO(g)
given that ΔH° = 180.7 kJ and ΔS° = 24.7 J/K. Is the reaction spontaneous under these circumstances?
A particular reaction has ΔH° = 24.6 kJ and ΔS° = 132 J/K at 298 K. Calculate ΔG°. Is the reaction spontaneous under these conditions?
Answers: ΔG° = –14.7 kJ; the reaction is spontaneous.
Practice Exercise Solution
Analyze: We are asked to calculate ΔG° for the indicated reaction (given ΔH°, ΔS° and T) and to predict whether the reaction is spontaneous under standard conditions at 298 K.
Plan: To calculate ΔG°, we use Equation 19.12, ΔG° = ΔH° – T ΔS°. To determine whether the reaction is spontaneous under standard conditions, we look at the sign of ΔG°.
Solve:
Because ΔG° is positive, the reaction is not spontaneous under standard conditions at 298 K.
